A method for annealing a structure formed by electrodeposition is
provided, the method comprising providing the electrodeposition
structure, the electrodeposition structure comprising an electroformed
mold, the electroformed mold having a nominal thickness between and
including 0.5 mm to 8.0 mm and having a melting temperature; heating the
electrodeposition structure to a temperature between ambient temperature
and the melting temperature of the electrodeposition structure;
isostatically pressurizing the electrodeposition structure to a pressure
above ambient pressure; cooling the electrodeposition structure to
ambient temperature; and depressurizing the electrodeposition structure
to ambient pressure.
